“One of the old cures for Rheumatism pains was nettles.”

One of the old cures for rheumatism pains was nettles. The person who was suffering from rheumatism got nettles and beat the part affected with them.

The juice of the dandelion was used for warts. Any body who had warts bruised the juice out of the dandelion and put it on them.
A cobweb was used for stopping blood. Anyone who had a cut put a cobweb on it and the blood would stop.
